SDL_PauseAudio

This function is a legacy means of unlocking the audio device. New programs might want to use SDL_PauseAudioDevice() instead.

Syntax

void SDL_PauseAudio(int pause_on)

Function Parameters

Code Examples

SDL_PauseAudio(1);  // audio callback is stopped when this returns.
SDL_Delay(5000);  // audio device plays silence for 5 seconds
SDL_PauseAudio(0);  // audio callback starts running again.

Remarks

This function is equivalent to calling

SDL_PauseAudioDevice(1, pause_on);

and is only useful if you used the legacy SDL_OpenAudio() function.
